"3" Steam Controller on my hands
Because they're an established peripheral manufacturer and they're who signed up, I guess. Hori puts out some cool stuff but the horipad is trash on every console. Hopefully we get more licensed steam controllers (with touchpads!?)

The Steam Deck's capacitive sticks and touchpads are perfect for Groove Coaster
Groove Coaster is originally an arcade rhythm game by Taito. The controls consist of a pair of boosters, which are basically giant analog sticks with a button on top of each. You tap the buttons and move the boosters to the rhythm. This control scheme translates perfectly to the capacitive thumbstic

Looking for advice please
Steam Deck has an official dock, as well as third party docks. You can buy either. I have a third party one. Normally, Steam Deck is not really meant to be played docked. It does work, again, it is a PC, so it won't stop you, but Steam Deck is not really powerful enough to play at higher resolution

PS5 Gyro frustration
I tried my Switch 1 Joy-Cons on Remnant 2 via Steam and i couldn't play at all. I did replace the Joy-Con sticks with hall effect ones from gullikit because the og ones started drifting on both Joy-Con pairs i have. Latency was horrible, dead zones were horrible and overall the ergonomics of the Joy

Considering getting a controller to use with Steam games. What are the pros and cons of the various types?
I've got the hori steam controller. Think it's called the HORIpad. I love it, it has all the steam buttons on there & it has the familiar Xbox layout I like.

Looking for Recommendations for a SNES USB Wired Controller to play with an Emulator
I would highly recommend getting a Horipad. They're just a really solid, good quality controller all around for the cost; I've dropped mine dozens of times with seemingly no consequences, and played tons of mash heavy games without any face button fatigue to speak of. My first one lasted me 3 or 4 y

Alpakka a Gyro Endgame? Yes, but...
Of course I do know H2, I just been using mode shift so when I hold L1, face buttons change into dpad, so i can freely run and spring and if I want to dive I use backpaddle for it. Never found need to reload or use co sole while holding strategem ball 😅 Yeah, Gyro activation is tricky. Personally, I

Are there any other controller that has a touch capacitive analog stick like the Horipad for Steam?
Just Steam Deck and Horipad, closest thing is the Steam controller, but only the trackpads

Good controllers with linux support
steam horipad -- no rumble but it works ootb with steam and has gyro, also official valve-licensed controller. dualsense 5 edge -- currently the only controller that has all the same mappable functions as a steam deck, but pricy. if in US you can do a mail-in upgrade mod for hall effect sticks, its

Bluetooth controllers on Steam Deck
The only "solution" I've found is to buy the horipad for steam. When you turn it on, the steam deck picks it up and auto switches even for the emulators. Never have found a way around controller order though sorry.
